Egg & Cheese Biscuit – Price, Calories & Nutrition (2026)
The Egg & Cheese Biscuit is the simplest and lightest breakfast sandwich on the Wendy’s breakfast menu. A fresh-cracked egg and melted American cheese are served on a warm buttermilk biscuit — no meat, no extras. It is an affordable, vegetarian-friendly way to start the day.
At $3.59 and roughly 260 calories, it sits in a sweet spot that few breakfast sandwiches hit: cheap enough for a daily habit and light enough not to weigh you down. It is also the building block for the Egg & Cheese Biscuit Combo, so if you end up wanting potatoes and a drink, the combo route saves you money.

Taste & Description
The buttermilk biscuit is baked until golden, with a tender, flaky crumb and a light buttery taste. A fresh-cracked Grade A egg is cooked on the grill to order, giving it a soft, fluffy texture and mild flavor. A slice of American cheese melts over the egg, adding creaminess and a familiar savory note. Without meat, the biscuit and egg flavors shine through, making it a gentle, easy breakfast that is not too heavy.
Because there is nothing to hide behind — no bacon, no sausage, no sauce — the quality of the basics matters here, and Wendy’s fresh-cracked egg does the heavy lifting. The cheese melts into the egg rather than sitting on top as a separate layer, which keeps every bite creamy.
This is also the mildest sandwich on the breakfast menu: no spice, no smoke, no sweetness — just a clean, classic egg-and-cheese profile that works for kids and cautious eaters alike.

The Egg & Cheese Biscuit is priced at $3.59 at most Wendy’s locations in the United States in 2026. Prices can vary slightly by market and franchise, and it can also be ordered as part of a breakfast combo with seasoned potatoes and a drink.
